Luke-

I just ordered some 19" rims/tires for my 01' CLK55. The front rims/tires are a 19X8.5 +35, 235/35/19 and the rears are 19X9.5 +35, 265/30/19.

Will the front rims clear my brake calipers? I had this same combo on my CLK430, but my CLK55 has larger brake calipers......

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,
AL

Luke@tirerack

telling me which wheels might help me answer your question .... ya think

the specs given are compatible with the car though

clkal

my bad, Luke....the manufacturer of the wheel is ADR....the model is the SPARTAN. both front/back are +35 offset. Will I have issues w/ the front calipers?

TIA,
AL

Luke@tirerack

I do not have the technical drawings for any ADR wheel since we do not carry that brand .... sorry ... what did the company you bought them from say?

clkal

The sales person told me it "should" fit w/o hitting the calipers, however, if it didn't, he would include 2 3mm hubcentric spacers, and that would definitely solve the problem......

hopefully I won't have to use the spacers.

Luke@tirerack

spacers = bad unless they are hub-centric and TUV approved and is he including longer lug bolts if you use them ????

clkal

yes. if i end up having to use the hubcentric spacers, he included 10 3mm longer lug bolts for me to use.
